Well, I agree we can't blame Bush for everything, but we can blame him for his share. Take for example the financial meltdown. From what I've read, investors and hedge funds were taking huge risks and inflating a credit bubble destined to burst. Better government regulation would have helped. For example, to require more capital from banks (of all kinds) and insurance companies to back up their "gambling". Also, mortgage lenders should be required to suffer the first losses, instead of packaging their mortgages into CDOs with various "tranches" or risk/reward and selling these to investors. I'll admit I'm not a financial expert, but it seems regulation was too lax under Bush -- although the problem's origins goes way back in time and there's lots of blame to go around.

hi
obama fooled the country. he has done nothing for the state of illinois. he has no talent only his tongue. he got elected by whites where the blacks will take all the credit. he has no record in a high ranking office. and this country voted him to the highest.
shame on all of you.

Sorry, I gave Bush a clear chance.
Anyone who is defending him still OBVIOUSLY voted for him twice and is living in denial of their guilt in the complicity of putting him in office.
I mean, that Os-bama picture. How retarded can you get?
Oooh, that sells me in Obama being terrible. Forget how Bush trainwrecked this country (just like everything he's done in his life, btw - from baseball teams to oil companies) but go all over that "liberals are the devil incarnate" Rush Limbaugh braindead cliche.
I am a libertarian, being a billion times more 'conservative' than Bush was and utterly confident that he is THE worst president this nation has ever had.

Try reading up on the House of Reps and the Senate work. All of those issues were because CEO's were smarter than they were ethical. Go get on your soap box when you actually know a thing or two about how a free market economy and the government works.

it's not president Bush that fucked things up. It's all you retards on welfare that try to buy houses and the others who don't even know what a savings account is.
It could be [the fact] that Bush appointed federal regulators, who didn't believe in regulation and who approved the use of nonsensical financial tools and derivatives had something to do with our current economic predicament.

anyone who believes that 1 man controls a 10 trillion dollar economy is a moron, sure his policies can guide it and Bush screwed up by not cutting the spending. the congress, both democrat and republican legislators have been paying thier constituants off with pork with our money. bush screwed up the war, bush screwed up katrina, as did the people running louisiana, but there is enough blame to go around to all our wonderful politicians and greedy corporations. obama has a mess on his hands that was some of bush's fault and some that has been building for decades.
